URGENT on !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee the frequent poster @JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee has to take some time out for personal reasons and is asking other people to take over... I don't have any content to post there so I can't help out. But anyone with an interest in that topic who has some excerpts/reviews/info they want to post, I invite them to do so.

In other news.... !gothindustrial@lemmy.world is showing a bit of life... a couple different people have been posting each week, starting about a month ago. Not sure what that's about.

On !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world I started doing a weekly post about the Mastodon weekly view parties. Then when I go to the view parties (which are a lot of fun!) I post a link to the lemmy post. That way I advertise each to each:

• https://lemmy.world/post/26462199
• https://mastodon.social/@Terencio/114135418686489030

Finally, I've had some success advertising niche communities by posting spoiler-tagged lists of communities to new people when they ask for direction. Here's what I'm talking about, I welcome you to do something similar:

We've reached 413 members in !journaling@sh.itjust.works. We also have more participation going on in the Weekly Threads I recently initiated (Issue 6 is ready to go out, tomorrow). If it is still on the timid side, I still find it very promising and encouraging ;)

Today more then ever, I think people should give journaling a chance. When things are getting stressful, this can help a lot. Be it to take a few steps back and consider things more calmly, or even just to put down emotions and feelings and try to deal with them. I hope our little community can encourage a few persons to start doing so.

!breadtube@slrpnk.net has been seeing very steady growth, having nearly reached 400 subs!

!mealtimevideos@lemmy.cafe has also seen steady growth and quite active community participation. Overall the move to .cafe has worked out wonderfully, and it's proven itself to be a reliable instance :)

Quite impressed with !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Still a shame that !buyfromeu@feddit.org don't want to consider consolidating, as the two are literally the same community (buyfromEU allows discussion about "neighboring friendly countries")

!fakealbumcovers@lemm.ee got a lot of interest, but the higher barrier to entry means I'm still the only one posting. I did just promote it at !fakebandnames@lemmy.world, which should help a bit.

!haiku@lemm.ee by contrast already has a few other people posting, and I'm happy with how it's growing so far.

Very pleased with the growth of our communities since the move to crazypeople.online almost 2 weeks ago.

!eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online is leading the way with just over 100 subscribers again. All kinds of new people have been posting music and leaving comments, it's great to see.

!weedtime@crazypeople.online isn't far behind with just under 100 subscribers. Lazy stoners, come on already! 💚

!pokemonTCGM@crazypeople.online has also been active since the move. With a little over 60 subscribers we're seeing active posting and trading which is awesome! I'm hopeful the community will continue to grow as more people become hopelessly addicted to this game.

!loweffortmemes@crazypeople.online is seeing similar subscriber numbers. We were fortunate to have @Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com lead us off with some bangers to get things started. Awesome to see community members take the lead when a new place needs some love!

!autoracing@crazypeople.online hasn't seen much activity but it also didn't see much at it's old home either. For now it's mostly my space to post random racing videos I find on YouTube lol. More people are definitely invited though!

And on a more generic note the instance as a whole has been doing well. Some new members added and no stability issues, good times. Hopefully everyone is doing well with their projects.

!chadmctruthstruth@lemmy.world is being actively suppressed but its still slowly growing despite the deepstates best efforts its up to 175 subscribers now
